Luis Aguilar kicked his USFL-record eighth field goal of the game, a 55-yarder as time expired, to lift the Philadelphia Stars past the New Jersey Generals 24-21 on Sunday afternoon in Detroit.

Aguilar accounted for all of the points for the Stars (2-3) with field goals of 22, 42, 56 (longest in the USFL this season), 36, 27, 51, 49 and 55 yards. His seventh field goal broke the league record for a single game.

Aguilar also punted three times for a 40-yard average. The eight field goals in a game matches the NFL record set in 2006 by Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas.

The Generals (2-3) had tied the game at 21 on Kyle Lauletta’s quarterback sneak and two-point conversion pass to Woody Brandom with 15 seconds left in regulation.

Lauletta completed 10 of 12 passes for 111 yards and one interception by Mazzi Wilkins. De’Andre Johnson was 7 of 12 for 79 yards.

Philadelphia quarterback Case Cookus was 18 of 30 for 125 yards.
